"Jean? What are you doing here?"

Yunyu opened his eyes immediately after he heard that familiar voice. His eyes searched around bewilderedly, and then he saw a man standing quite far from him. 

But he could recognize that man immediately, from his sharp-impatient gaze, his posture, his expression that looked like he was annoyed the whole time,

It was Maximillien Eau Saumont, Jean's big brother. 

"BIG BROTHER!" Yunyu screamed as loud as possible, "HELP ME!"

…

No answer, but Maximillien stood there expressionlessly, staring at Yunyu with a blank gaze. 

Yunyu gritted his teeth, pushed his body to stand up, and ran towards his big brother, Maximillien. 

He wanted someone. He needed someone to save him from this hell right now. 

"Big brother, help—" As Yunyu was about to reach Maximillien's hand, the man suddenly vanished into thin air. Yunyu looked around in confusion, "W—Where are you, Big brother?"

"Young Master… Jean? Wolf…. here… Wolf protect…." Yunyu darted his eyes at his left and saw Wolf bowed his head respectfully. He smiled at Yunyu, waiting for Yunyu to come to him.

"WOLF! SAVE MEEE!" Yunyu rushed to Wolf to hug him. Wolf was the most loyal and strongest out of three. He should be able to protect him.

But when Yunyu was about to reach Wolf's hand, the strong man suddenly vanished into thin air, just like Maximillien.

Yunyu took few steps back. He was both frightened and confused.

[Pupa: Get yourself together! It's Monster Matthew trying to mess around with your head!]

[No, I can't. I really can't! He is going to trap me forever, and I need someone to save me. This place is not safe!]

[Pupa, let's just get out of here first!]

Pupa got worried because Yunyu wasn't thinking straight. It tried to circle around Yunyu to make sure that he didn't do anything stupid, but he just looked around like a lost lamb until he saw a man with a white robe and silver hair. 

He smiled at Yunyu softly and opened his arms, "Come to me, Jean. I'm always here, waiting for you."

"ANGEL RAPHAEL!" Yunyu ran as fast as he could to hug Raphael. He was afraid that Raphael was just another mirage that came out of nowhere. 

But when he jumped to hug Raphael, he could feel a solid, warm body that embraced him. Raphael was real!

Yunyu hugged Raphael tightly and started crying, "Raphael, Angel, please, let's leave. Let's leave from here. I'm so scared!"

"Oh no, what happened?" Raphael asked, full of gentle care. 

"Monster—Matthew has turned into a monster, and he wants to trap me here. You have to save me, Raphael! I really can't stand this. It's too depressing! Please help me!"

Yunyu started crying even louder, not wanting to release Raphael. He was too scared to think straight, not that he was straight, to begin with. 

"Do you still remember what the monster looks like?" Raphael asked calmly.

"A-Ah, yes, he has sharp teeth, dark eyes without pupil, and his body is cold. He looks like Matthew, but he is a lot scarier!" Yunyu explained.

"Oh, dear Jean…." Raphael suddenly wrapped his hands around Jean's waist and locked him, ensuring that Jean wouldn't escape this time. 

"Does the monster look like this?" Raphael asked. 

"What are you—" Yunyu was silenced and petrified when Raphael's face slowly morphed into the fact that he didn't want to see the most in this world.

Raphael's eyes turned completely dark, his long silver hair turned short and spiky, his mouth widened, showing rows of sharp teeth grinning at Yunyu.

And the warm touch turned into a cold one. 

Monster Matthew cackled maliciously. He hugged Yunyu tighter, making sure that Yunyu wouldn't be able to escape his clutch, not anymore. 

"Do you know that you're going to be stuck with me forever? Just accept it and peacefully surrender yourself, will you?"

"LET ME GO! LET ME GO!"

Yunyu started struggling as hard as he could to no avail. He started punching Monster Matthew's face, but the monster wasn't budging at all. 

"So, you're that desperate to see those men who filled your sexual fantasy, but not your heart? Fine then, let me show them to you."

Monster Matthew flicked his fingers, and three glass coffins suddenly emerged from the ground.

Yunyu couldn't believe what he saw next.

Three glass coffins of Maximillien Eau Saumont, Wolf Dietrich, and Raphael De Argent. All of them were in well preserved but bloodied condition inside the glass coffin.

"You realize it, don't you? They died that night, and I preserved them all inside these glass coffins," Monster Matthew pointed at Maximillien's coffin. 

"Your Big brother, Maximillien Eau Saumont, died when he went on a rampage that night after being infected with the dark sprout. He had a bloody battle with—" Monster Matthew pointed at Wolf, whose body was full of horrible wounds. "Wolf Dietrich. Wolf didn't want Maximillien to break free and kill even more people, so he had a death fight with Maximillien."

"Both of them died, and I collected their body," Monster Matthew grinned, satisfied when he saw Yunyu's face turned ashen. "And about Saint Raphael De Argent. Did you notice that red spot on his heart? He ran away with you in the middle of the woods, and I caught him."

"I took you from his hands, and I stabbed him with a dark dagger, making sure that he cannot regenerate with his holy magic."

"Then, after making sure that he is dead, I used my magic to teleport his body here and put him inside that glass coffin, alongside Maximillien and Wolf."

"No… No way…" Yunyu shook his head, unable to accept the fact that all of them were dead. "Y—You're lying. This is just an illusion, right?"

[Pupa, this is just an illusion, right? They're fake, right!?]

Pupa scanned the bodies, and after confirming it, Pupa reported its finding, 

[Pupa: Unfortunately, they are all real bodies, Maximillien, Wolf, and Raphael are all dead…]

[Then how come the world hasn't restarted yet?!]

[Pupa: Because after that hidden plot has been unlocked, all of their Fatemeters are gone, and there is only one Fatemeter that appears. So that means they are not the real Master of the world since the very start. It's Matthew.]

[Pupa: Matthew Moulin's Fatemeter is 80%.]

…

Monster Matthew smirked and tilted his head, "Do you finally believe me? My dear beloved Yunyu, you don't realize that I've planned to have you in this world no matter what."

"We're currently living in this bubble that I created for both of us. I've destroyed the world outside. Now we can live in peace here, with everything that you want, I can provide it."

Yunyu was already weak after knowing the truth. He didn't know what to do next.

Monster Matthew put Yunyu down on the flower bed gently, "Are you afraid because of my appearance?"

Monster Matthew slowly morphed his face to turn into regular Matthew, who was handsome and looked cold at the same time. He smiled at Yunyu and said, "How is it? Do you like me now?"

Like? 

Yunyu thought it was such a ridiculous question, "I think we already know the answer, Matthew."

"I know you will answer yes, right? Yunyu, I've loved you for so long, and this is already a perfect plan. Let's just have a peaceful life together."
